The documents were the first commander sent by the Justice Department, which was summoned in early August as part of the Epstein detector of the bipartisan.
Given that House Republican leaders decided to pair resolutions with “rule votes,” a procedural barrier that allowed the House to debate several unrelated bills before voting on those measures, it was no surprise that Democrats oppose Wednesday’s vote.

“I hope my colleagues are watching this press conference. I want them to think, what if this is your sister? What if this is your daughter?” Massi said at the press conference.
“Now, the house’s spokesperson is just giving my colleagues a fig leaf. They will vote for today’s unbinding resolutions, which absolutely does nothing. I thank my colleague James Comer for his efforts, who leads the oversight committee.

“I describe almost everything Thomas Massie said as everything related to this issue,” Johnson said, who believes House Republicans are committed to transparency.
